Why Failure Doesn't Mean You Failed
A failed attempt is an event, not an identity. It tells you what to try next.
The ideas
- Failure is feedback about the method, not about your worth.
- Almost everyone who succeeds has failed many times first.
- Recovering well is a skill you can practise.
For example
Getting a low mark in a test shows which topics need work. It doesn't decide what you are capable of.
Try this
- Write what happened, without blaming yourself.
- List one thing you learned.
- Decide one change for your next attempt.
Reflect: What did your last setback teach you?
